However, in this unpredictable moment, TSMC Vice Chairman Shi Hsia-jui has taken over as the acting chairman, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to TSMC's future. Shi Hsia-jui stated that he would continue to uphold Chang's three major businesses, including memory, logic chip design, and AI packaging, with the hope of fulfilling Chang's wish for shareholders to receive dividends in the future.

Chang's passing has presented Shi Hsia-jui with a new challenge, as he must inherit Chang's legacy and continue to drive TSMC's development while facing the changing market and increasing competition.

TSMC's three major businesses are its core competitiveness. The memory business has long been an important source of revenue for the company, with its leadership position in this field being uncontested. The logic chip design business has been a rapidly growing area for TSMC in recent years, with the company's market share also increasing. The business of packaging various semiconductor components for AI applications is an important business for TSMC in emerging industries, with its development prospects also looking promising.

He emphasized that TSMC's shareholders are the company's greatest benefactors and that he will continue to prioritize shareholders in his management approach, driving the company's development.

Shi Hsia-jui also stated that he would continue to promote TSMC's research and investment, strengthening the company's core competitiveness and market position. He will also continue to focus on the company's operational management and cost control, ensuring the company's operational efficiency and financial stability.

TSMC's shareholders, including investors and employees, have expressed their expectations and support for Shi Hsia-jui's takeover. Shi Hsia-jui's experience and abilities have given people confidence that he can inherit Chang's legacy and drive TSMC's development.

However, TSMC's future remains full of challenges and risks. The company faces changing market conditions and increasing competition, as well as various external uncertainties. Shi Hsia-jui must inherit Chang's legacy, continue to drive TSMC's development, and face the changing market and increasing competition.

In conclusion, Shi Hsia-jui's takeover as TSMC chairman is a new beginning. He needs to inherit Chang's legacy, continue to drive TSMC's development, and face the changing market and increasing competition. However, Shi Hsia-jui's experience and abilities have given people confidence that he can inherit Chang's legacy and drive TSMC's development.
